fossilized Jurassic Anning cliffs |
Mary lived on the southern coast of England, in a town called Lyme Regis. Its famous cliffs by the sea contain incredible fossil layers that date from the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods (the time of the dinosaurs, other bizarre reptiles, large insects, sea creatures, early mammals, and other life forms).
Mary Anning found and prepared the first fossilized plesiosaur (an ocean-dwelling reptile) and the first Ichthyosaurus (an ocean-dwelling reptile that looked like a dolphin). She found many other important fossils, including Pterodactylus (a flying reptile), sharks (and other fish), and so on. Together with her brother Joseph, Mary supplied prepared fossil specimens to many museums, scientists, and private collections.
